NW 580, the new shoe for your new adventures!
Nordic walking is a sport in its own right, which is why Elodie, Séverine and David have developed this new NW 580 waterproof shoe: a nicer style, more suppleness (flexibility), better grip... everything has been modified in response to the ascents that Nordic walkers have made. We've kept the gaiter to limit the ingress of stones, and the lace stow to prevent laces from dragging. Use the heel tab for easy donning!
What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic walking is practiced with special poles on all types of gently sloping terrain, to tone the whole body.
What are the benefits of Nordic walking?
In Nordic walking, you start by putting your heel down, then unroll your foot to your toes, which propel you forward. That's why our shoes guarantee you optimum flexibility and reinforced cushioning in the heel and under the metatarsals, the areas of support most used when walking.
What is the Flex-H concept?
The Flex-H concept is a system of three H-shaped flexion notches positioned at the front of the foot.
Studies carried out by Decathlon SportsLab have shown that during the propulsion phase of sport walking, the metatarsophalangeal joint is both the flexion zone and the main support zone of the foot.
Our design teams have therefore placed these flexion notches on either side of this joint to facilitate the rolling of the foot while preserving its comfort.
What footwear to choose in wet weather?
Airy mesh fabrics are not suitable for rainy conditions. We recommend the NW 580 model, whose construction and treatment guarantee the necessary waterproofing.
To ensure the comfort of your feet:
- Choose the right shoe size. When walking, it is not necessarily useful to take an extra size.
- Choose a shoe whose shape is adapted to that of your foot
- Adjust/tighten the laces to maintain the foot well, do not hesitate to re-lace during the walk
- Avoid new socks for a 1st outing with your new shoes
- Use socks with a height higher than that of the integrated sock.
